Baby is now 9 weeks and 3 days old... another 3 weeks and the first trimester will be over.
Increasingly I've been getting sleepier. Somehow I also seem to be in need of sleep. At times in the morning after I wake just within 1-2 hours I'll feel sleepy again but because of work I can't fall asleep in the office. The past few days have been really tiring but I've been happy. I do feel something in my tummy.. sometimes i wonder if it is a fiction of my imagination or is it really there and me feeling the baby.
Hubby dearest has been busy with work in the SQD. From some of my reading materials, I read that expectant fathers can sometimes feel left out of the pregnancy. Firstly mums get the morning sickness and have to carry the bub around. However dads lead their life as normal and only can to see mums and bubs in the evening after work. With Hubby's work being so busy sometimes I wonder how he feels. Oh well the weekend is coming. Let's hope he gets more time to spend with me and bub. I want him to be a part of every step. I want to tell him everything that I feel about bub. =)
Next Appt with Gynae : 4th May 2010.

222 Days to go...
Its amazing how there is this life inside of you. Sometimes you feel, sometimes you wonder if its you just being FAT. Admittedly my hunger pangs are almost every 2-3 hours. At this rate that I'm eating, you start to wonder if its the baby or me just growing fat. =) I should start to look at my eating pattern and try to subsitute what I've been eating with Fruits and good food that is nutritious for baby. =)
On a different note, school was great today. I enjoy having a small class. My focus and attention on each student is better. We implemented the compulsory quiz today. From the results of it so far, it looks promising.

A New Life...
Its been almost a year now since i last touched this blog. I know I've been really lazy. My honeymoon is still stuck at Day4. Woopsie Daisy... just too many photos and lots of procrisination.
Well, the good news is I'm back. Not many people know about this blog but its okay. Its only meant for people close to me anyways.
Been having lots of problems with trying for a kid. As some may know my menstration cycle has been rather warped for the past year. It can be delayed for like 50,60 or even 80 days. Yes... 80day... which means i get menses only 3 times a year. Truthfully I rather spend the money on sanitary pads then have this warped cycle.
Visited Dr WK Tan some time in march to seek advice about my problem. Went to another gynae (which was such a horrible experience) prior to her as well as a TCM. Both didn't seem to work. Really like Dr WK Tan. She's a really nice warm doctor whom I feel so comfortable with. Did a pap smear test in March and I didn't even feel a thing (have heard horrific stories on how it can really hurt). Yes! That is how good she is.
Our second appointment was on 17th April 2010 (sat). Reached there REALLY early just to get a car park at the hospital and we wanted to be the first to register as waiting for a gyane can really be a pain. I remember one of the nurses telling me at my last visit that I should be prepared as the waiting time can go from 1 hour to 3 hours. @_@. Anyways we parked and yes I was not the first at the clinic... =( there was already one other person but i guess we were seeing different docs. PHEW. Imagine... consultations start at 9am and i was there at 8:10am. The nurses were busy with setting up the place for the day. By the time I was allowed to register it was 8:20am.
Nurse: Have you taken your weight?
Me: Nope. Must take ah?
Nurse: Yes, everytime u come must go take weight.
Me: *runs to take weight then comes back to the counter and tells weight to the nurse.* Nurse but I'm not pregant why must always take weight?
Nurse: Oh you not pregnant ah. When was your last menses?
Me: 15th Jan.
Nurse: You brought your temperature chart?
Me: Yes... here it is.
Nurse: *looks at chart* Have you taken a pregnancy test?
Me: No. My menses don't come 80 days quite normal one.
Nurse: Your temperature so high. Got chance you might be pregant. You want to take test? But must pay money.
Me: Oh.. how much?
Nurse: $15.
Me: Okay take lor.
Nurse: You wait ah. I go check with the senior nurse first whether you must take test.
*waits with hubby while my tummy grumbles.
Me: * after about 10 mins* Can i go eat breakfast?
Nurse: Wait. * she then goes to the back and comes back out with my file.* Ok you go take the test first.
Me: Can I go drink water first... inside empty.
Nurse: Oh nothing ah... okay you know where to drink water right.. Drink already take this to the lab. (*hands me a slip of paper)
Went to take a glass of water then headed to lab to get a cup for Urine sample and passed to lab assistant.
Me: *back at the waiting area* Can I go have breakfast? Doctor comes in at 9am right? (timecheck 8:30am)
Nurse looks at Senior Nurse who is holding my records and says "Eh you have kimberly wee's file?"
Senior Nurse looks at me and talks to the Nurse: "Yes, what she want?"
Nurse:" She want to go eat breakfast?"
Senior Nurse checks time and says to me "Can only go Delifrance ah! and come back quickly."
Wha piang so fierce... I quickly grab hubby and we went to makan.
After breakfast, we went back to the clinic to wait for DR Tan. At about 9:15am, a nurse asked me to go into the room to get me prepared for Dr Tan. She laid me down on the bed and asked me if i needed folic acid. I said I still have. Then I said I only need to collect some vitamin E ( was told by the clinic a few days earlier to collect vit E on my next visit) . Then the nurse replied... no need already. I was a little surprised and happy but yet still unsure.... (Vitamin E was mean to help me increase the probability of conceiving), then she came behind the curtain and held my right arm and said with a smile... " You know right, you are pregnant." I replied..." I didn't know... you just told me."
At that moment my heart skipped a beat. I was happy yet shocked that I am a mum to be. COuldn't see hubby's face as he was behind the curtains but I know he must have felt what I felt at that very moment.
Dr Tan came in moments later and did a scan for me. Couldn't see anything from the normal ultra sound so she had to do an internal scan. It was then that we could see the baby on the screen. Hubby was then asked to join us behind the curtain to take a look at the screen. He was so excited. We were able to measure the length of the baby using the crown-rump method (13.4mm) and see the Yolk Sac (food storage for the baby) as well. How exciting! The doctor also showed us the twinkling heartbeat of our baby.
After that mini excitement, we then sat down at the Doc's desk to talk about this new baby of ours. She mentioned that currently like all other pregnancies, I have to be very careful. Pregnancies are usually stable only after the first trimester. Currently I'm already 7 weeks and 4 days (as of 17th April) pregnant. So will come back for a check up in two weeks time to make sure that the baby is growing fine. Then she went on to brief me on what I can eat, should eat and should avoid. Excercise as well. =)
YAY we are becoming parents now. Next stage of our lives together as a family.
We went to my mum's after to break the good news to the Happy Grandparents to be. =)
